looking for ways to connect and find common ground with others
I noticed an increasing interest regarding psychology within the last year. When it comes to human interaction, i primarly focused on language so far. So i asked the i ching "what effect will it have, if i put effort in improving my abilty to read faces" and received 22.1.3.5.6 with 8 as the resulting hexagram.
As my ability to read the i ching is somewhere next to nothing, i would appreciate some thoughts on that. My own interpretation is: yes it is possible to improve, but stay consistent in your effort and don't rely on yourself exclusively while doing so
Wanderer, what I gave is my advice based on how I interpreted the Yi's response to you. I didn't go into much detail, though others may want to. If you find it useful, that's fine. I guess the general advice I'm giving is a sort of 'forest for the tree's type of thing - that you can get so lost in trying to figure someone out, in 'reading' them, that you miss connecting with them. But, if you think that's a useful skill, so be it..... i sure as hell know this: first you need to read a person accurately, then you can connect and may or may not find common ground...there are gifts by nature and there are developed skills - if we would only stick to the natural gifts, there would be no improvement of mankind .... but you might right about the moving lines
I don't disagree. But I wonder, are any special skills really needed here to read any of their faces - Trump's or Aldrin's? I don't think so. And what I said was concerning Wanderer tying his reading to 'human interaction', and not necessarily (or exclusively) for figuring out when people are lying. I think that disconnect is what I was seeing in all the moving lines too - which gets back to my question 'why do you (really) want to develop these skills'?The study of face reading isn't to connect with people but to discern when people are lying on criminal cases for example - wonder what Buzz Aldrin's face says ?

Best, D.

If you research it you can see study of micro expressions is quite a specialist area and useful to criminal cases and no doubt other things. This involves detection of tiny tiny face movements.
Trojina, what I said as a follow up is:You [freedda] ask why would he do it ? Well because it's part of psychology which is a very interesting subject. It is also a very useful subject to have for all sorts of jobs.
Surely it's like someone asking 'why do you do photography ?' I mean I can't see why he wouldn't do it if it interests him.
That's what I got from the reading, and if you get something else, that's fine too. I figure it's up to Wanderer as to what he thinks of my advice - and whether it's right or wrong or if it fits or not, or most importantly if they find it useful.....

I thought you misunderstood the proposal. Nothing to do with what you got from the reading but that I felt you didn't quite get the situation, both you and Liselle seemed to think it was a case of him going around staring at people in daily life.
I was trying to say perhaps it is part of a course, you know, part of a social psychology degree - so if it is it's a fairly different animal.
I edited my post, above. It's ironed out as far as I can tell. Thanks, D.Or private message? Personally I don't see much point in bringing every minor quibble to the moderators and Hilary, if people could iron it out themselves. (And for what it's worth this seems to me like a very minor quibble.)
